TYT: The GOP Balanced Budget Plan - What's The Catch?

[WhoIsNumberNone]

"John Iadaola (https://twitter.com/jiadarola) discusses the plan by House Republicans to have the budget balanced in the next nine years. But at what cost?

The national budget has always been an unwieldy mistress at the best of times. A Republican president hasn't had the budget under control since Dwight Eisenhower. However, House Republicans have put together a plan to have the budget balanced and to cut government spending by over five trillion dollars in the next nine years. The catch? The budget for military spending and war funding would be boosted from President Obama's proposed $51 billion to a large $90 billion.

The leader of the new proposed budget, House Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price's plan would also repeal Obamacare without offering a replacement program and several programs for lower income families. The plan is also full of legal loopholes, including a move to keep the Democrats from being able to filibuster the bill at anytime."

1. I wonder if the people of the USA understand that the funding of a program does not end the

need for states to take care of their own people. So if there are more hungry people in your state the state is going to have to deal with it. Same for healthcare. Same with housing. Same with education.

What the Rs want to do with this budget is dump the problems back into the lap of the state WITHOUT cutting federal taxes which will go to pay for more military. States and local governments will then be forced to raise the taxes to pay for the problems.

Red states will just let the people suffer as they are doing with ACA. One way or the other taxes will go up and more people will suffer.
